#Ingredients-needed

• For preparing Chitai Pithe one needs Hot water, Flour, Milk, and patali/ Date molasses. The amount will depend on how much you make.

Step-1:

• The first step is to take water.The normal water should be boiled and the water should be heated till it boils.You can heat water in any kind of pot but the pot should be big.

---

Step-2:

• After the water is heated in the pot, the pot should be taken down from the stove.Then pour the flour into boiled water.Care should be taken that the solution is not too thin or too thick.Usually the flour has to take three times as much water.

---

Step-3:

• Mix water and flour well with stick or big spoon.

---

Step-4:

• At this stage, the pot in which the cake / pitha will be made should be heated nicely on the stove.After two to three minutes of full heat, the pot heats up.

---

Step-6:

• Then cover the pot with a lid and wait three to four minutes.Because it takes three to four minutes for the solution to harden or the cake to be made.

---

Step-7:
